An 8-minute explainer video on The Map of Consciousness, the catalogue of 222 theories of consciousness published at https://mapadelaconsciencia.es/en/
The video walks through:
· The graph-theory mapping of 222 theories with the Louvain algorithm.
· The 7 emergent clusters that organize the entire field of consciousness studies (4E cognition, computational functionalism, contemplative traditions, idealist/quantum metaphysics, sociocultural consciousness, empirical neuroscience and indigenous worldviews).
· The 5 core theories that act as the load-bearing pillars of the catalogue: enactivism, Integrated Information Theory (with its parameter Φ), computational cognitivism, Advaita Vedanta and social constructivism of the self.
· The two unified models built from those five pieces: an idealist one (with Brahman as ontological ground) and an emergentist materialist one. Same five theories, opposite hierarchies, radically different conclusions.
· The closing reflection: which world are you?
